Another Week

So I have survived another weekend.

In another world that would mean a lot of partying and celebration, going out, being with friends etc.

In this life weekend is work-time. 'Only' one four-hour class on Saturday, but two four-hour classes on Sunday (with a forty-minute lunch-break). No matter how you play it, that makes for a gruelling day.

So today is payback - no classes until 7.30pm.

The Koleji

Dilko, where we work, has several strings to its bow. One of them is the College. This is a new venture, and the courtyard, volleyball court, science lab etc have only just been set up to accomodate the students' needs.

So here is the college at its morning assemble. Five boys (there are seven altogether when they all finally arrive) slouching to the strains of the National Anthem - an old scratchy orchestral recording -while the grey-haired fatherly principal conducts, under the watchful eye of their pony-tailed British teacher.
